The ads are obnoxious but I have to say the one with Little Richard makes me chuckle.

His expression is so totally twisted under that hair thing on his head that must have been shot under a sink..... It amuses me that corporate execs don't get that he's again "Slippin' 'n Sliddin' and good gollying Miss Molly while having the last laugh.

That commercial just came on TV. Like a train wreck, I could not look away. Little Richard is a scary, scary man.

"Many people, especially in the gay community, turn to oral sex as a safer alternative in the age of AIDS. And with HIV rates rising, people need to remember that oral sex is safer sex. It's a reasonable alternative."

Much prefer them over the gecko with his *bogus* British accent - you can tell the accent is fake British. Thumbs down!

Joke is on you then....he is actually British . His name is Jake Wood and is a British actor. Fake British accent

NB. Any advice about HIV is given in addition to your own medical advice and not intended to replace it. You should never make clinical decisions based on what anyone says on the internet but rather check with your ID doctor first. Discussions from the internet are just that - Discussions. They may give you food for thought, but they should not direct you to do anything but fuel discussion.

I actually checked out GEICO(government employees insurance company) to see just "how much I could save..." best deal? $233.00 per year MORE than I pay now......Maybe they should take the money they pay for "OLD CELEBRITIES" to endorse their insurance and apply it to LOWER the rates they charge....! Mashed potatoes, Gravy, and Cranberry Sauce indeed! Little Richards ending squeal must have been due to looking to see how much HE could save....And Charo? I'd bet she would spit expletives in spanish alot faster if she checked for herself......HA HA HA. As far as the Gecko goes.....I could use a new reptile skin belt.....!

Actually I have been pretty well sastified with Geico. I have had them for the past 20 years, for auto insurance. A lot depends in the part of the country you are in. My auto insurance (full coverage) is 289.00 every 6 months. I have not been able to find it any cheaper then that, and maintain full coverage.

How old RU Ray....? I'm 45, and have had NO tickets or Accidents (knock on wood) for 10 years....and my 1988 Ford Ranger XLT is registered, along with my Drivers License in my Hometown, Dalton....Ga.....which is Rural..... I currently have comprehensize, uninsured motorists, and Liability (considering the age of my truck, anything more would be Waste)....and I pay $134.00 every 6 months. I was with State Farm...Now I'm with Farm Bureau.... and have stayed with them for the last 4 years.....Like I said, GEICO was ALOT more.....

I am 54, with a clean driving record. I live in a heavely populated/ congested area,( which can affect rates), drive about 4 miles each way to work daily. I drive a 2001 Chevy.( No lean), I could easily drop some of the coverage, and get it down, to probably 200.00 every 6 months. Right now though, it's not that much of a burden, keeping the full coverage. My partner ( can't think of his insurance carrier off hand) has the same coverage, and he pays about 400.00 every 6 months. He also has excellant driving record, and he is the same age as I .He drives a 2004, Toyota Go figure !! Now, HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE is a real disaster down here in Florida !!! Something definetly needs to be done about that. Thats another story !!

fine. i'll take ownership of my error that jake is not fake, however i know plenty of brits who sound MUCH more authentic than jake. and compared to these people, jake's accent sounds contrived ... i'll restate my position with succinct brevity: jake sucks

when the gecko fades into oblivion as did the macarena, it will be a glorious day indeed
